Working with LHS:
I've tried using the sum to product trig ID to get:
1+2cos(3x/2)cos(x/2) from here I've tried a couple of things, but can't seem to get closer. I've tried changing the (3x/2) into (5x/2−x) and using sum identity, but this just makes things even messier.
I also tried working the RHS. I'm only allowed to use the basic trig ID's: pythag, double and half angle, and sum to product and product to sum.
Answer
For sinx2≠0 we obtain:
1+cosx+cos2x=2sinx2+2sinx2cosx+2sinx2cos2x2sinx2=
=2sinx2+sin3x2−sinx2+sin5x2−sin3x22sinx2=12+sin5x22sinx2.
I used the following formula.
sinαcosβ=12(sin(α+β)+sin(α−β)).
For example,2sinx2cosx=2⋅12(sin(x2+x)+sin(x2−x))=sin3x2−sinx2.
